Master of the Spiritual Life
- Biography of Fr. Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, OCD. Translated from the italian. $5.00

A Modern Odyssey - The complete Spiritual Notes, together with a biography and the letters of
Sister Frances of the Redemption, who, after having lived several years as a hippie, became a Carmelite nun in Sitagarha,
India where she died in 1979 at the age of 32. Frances was not religious in any sense and in fact wandered into
a stimulating life of travel, excitement, and pleasure. For reasons that are unknowable to mere mortals (Saint Teresa
sometimes mused about His Majesty's seemingly random decisions to engage one or another of us, all of whom are completely
undeserving), God the Father himself visited Frances while she was hiking on a mountain. As one of her superiors in
religion later noted, Frances was granted "an authentic experience of the paternity of God".
From her personal journals, we hear how she so missed her "boyfriend" and grumbled as to why God would want her
to become fat and undesirable while subsisting mostly on rice in the cloister. She had never been taught about Jesus
before and couldn't fathom why she should become "all weepy-eyed over something that happened 2,000 years ago".
We see how Frances had a long way to go at the point of entering the religious life, yet she was completely determined to
grow and fully engaged in the effort to regain that moment and state of being that she had experienced on the mountaintop.

Union With God, According to St.
John of the Cross - According to St. John of the Cross.
By Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, OCD. The first english translation made to commemorate the IV centenary of the death
of St. John of the Cross. John of the Cross, the male counterpart to Saint Teresa and co-founder of her Carmelite
reform, was a little person and a true poet. He probably considered himself to be her disciple, although she would not
have let him say so nor encouraged him in that thinking. It is true that he practiced rather severe austerities, and
even more severe trials were imposed on him. Yet he also experienced rapturous moments and ecstasies, as did Saint Teresa,
and not infrequently. Sometimes while saying Mass, which even on a typical day might take a couple of hours, he would
be so carried away by the sublimity and tenderness of the experience, that he would wander off the altar, unaware of himself
or anything else. "Vuelvate, Paloma", he said: My dove, reverse your flight! $7.00
